1. FordHenry Ford (1863-1947) revolutionized the automobile industry with the assembly line method of production, which proved very successful for 15 million Model Ts were sold. Humans were similarly produced in the Brave New World where the embryos passed along a conveyor belt while a worker or machine would have a specific task dealing with the specimen. Again, this assembly line method proved very successful. 2. Lenina

Vladmir Lenin (1870-1924) founded the communist party in Russia and the world's first communist dictatorship. He believed in Karl Marx's theories that government is affected by underlying economic forces. Lenin's dictatorship resembles that of Mustapha Mond for both of them controlled their people for the nation to prosper. 3. Malthusian Drill

Thomas Robert Malthus (1776-1834), in his "Essay on the Principle of Population", stated that wars and disease would have to kill off the population because it grows faster than the food supply unless people could limit their number of children. The Malthusian Drill in the Brave New World was what women had to go through to prevent births (e.g. contraceptives and medications). 4. Benito

Benito Mussolini (1833-1945) was a dictator who found fascism and ruled for twenty-one years. He tried to build Italy into a great empire but it was left occupied by armies of other nations. Dictator-like' people who were looked up to in the eyes of the public controlled the Brave New World. 5. Hoover

J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972) served as the director of the FBI for 48 years and built it into the world's most outstanding law enforcement agency. During his time, the largest finger print file was established. However, in 1975, Hoover was accused of abusing his power. What he established can be related in the Brave New World. All citizens therein were, in a way, secured tightly with their full profiles known to the authorities. 6. Morgana

Lewis Henry Morgan (1818-1881) was an American Anthropologist who founded the science of kinship systems. He was famous for his theory of social evolution, which was the belief that people pass through three stages of development: 1. Savagery, 2. Barbarism, 3. Civilization. The different people in the book were also split up into separate stages, two to be in fact: savagery and civilization. The civilized' were in the BNW and everyone else was a savage. 7. Trotsky

Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) was the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. When Lenin lived, he was the second most powerful man in the nation. He lost leadership to Stalin and was murdered by Stalin's men in Mexico. Just like the world controllers in the Brave New World, Trotsky believed that everyone must fulfill their duty toward the nation so the nation could prosper. In the BNW, the society would not function if the citizens didn't do their roles. 8. Darwin

Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was a British naturalist who became famous for his theories in evolution. He believed all species evolved form a common ancestor and that evolution happened through a process called natural selection, which meant survival of the fittest. In the BNW, the different castes of people were made from a common ancestor (a single individual). Thus, creating hundreds of his or her clones. Since the directors believed in survival of the fittest, they made the best kind of people so that they may live long in a specific environment. 9. Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) crowned himself emperor of France. He was a greatest military genius of his time and perhaps the general in history. Napoleon was an excellent administrator and introduced several reforms, which created a strong central government. In the BNW, a small powerful centralized government was established with many rules and laws all controlled under an elite individual. 10. Helmholtz

Herman Ludwig Ferdinand Von Helmholtz (1821-1894) was German physicist who helped establish the law of the...

...was too inefficient and cultivated the idea to move the product instead of the people building it. Ford also pioneered technological research in developing products. Ford served as the turning point for technology; introducing and utilizing break-through ideas. Not only did he change how automobiles were manufactured, he changed the way people thought about technology. He made new technologies readily accessible and set the standard for the 20th century. In Aldous Huxley’sBraveNewWorld, Huxley makes Ford the center-point for why the new society was created, the old one was un-happy and inefficient. Replacing God with Ford, BraveNewWorld, showcases how Ford’s ideas could have been implemented.
2. Vladimir Lenin was the first person to make a country completely communist. With his uniting of the Soviet Union, Lenin integrated his communist ideologies into its member countries. Lenin derives many of his beliefs from his time when he was a member of the Bolshevik faction. This is where he accumulated Marxism fundamentals. Unlike in BraveNewWorld, Lenin believed in a single class. BraveNewWorld, invasions a perfect society with multiple social classes. In these classes, all of their members are perfectly fit with where they stand in society. There is neither backlash nor...

...Aldous Huxley wrote BraveNewWorld in the 1930s. He made many future predictions and many or most of them have already come true but not to the extent that he writes about. The society in BraveNewWorld is significannot
ly different to the present one, and to the society in Huxley's time. Aldous Huxley wrote BraveNewWorld not as a warning, but as something to look forward to.
The people in BraveNewWorld are everything we, as a society, want to be. Mustapha Mond sums up the perfections of the society in BraveNewWorld with an explanation he gave John: "The world's perfect now. People are happy; they get what they want and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they're plagued with no mothers or fathers; they've got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about . . . And if anything should go wrong, there's soma." (p. 177)
In BraveNew World's society, everyone has a place to be. There are no people out of work, there are no homeless people, no one struggles financially and they haven't a family nor a singular person that they have feelings for to worry about. They are all specially skilled to...

... Stability?
Is there such thing as a world in the future where sexual interaction is the closest aspect of a community? Is it true that the people in this society are unable to choose what they want, due to the fact that they are genetically controlled of who they are? Or to eliminate someone’s sadness by just taking one drop of a drug can automatically make them feel better? Welcome to BraveNewWorld. The motto ofBraveNewWorld consists of three words; community, identity, stability. These words create and conditions new human life in a civilized society that presents a dystopian view of the future. The word community is based on all the different castes of diverse people “working together” to become happier within each other. Identity is based on how the people in this society are supposed to be with themselves. Lastly, stability is achieved. Or is it?
The word community in the world state motto is used ironically. This is due to the fact that community is not achieved, the people in this society think it is but compared to our world now it really isn’t. In this society the community is prioritized over the individual. The community starts to speak about the concept that each of them has of happiness. The character John from the savage reservation thinks that the happiness of the citizens of Brave...

BraveNewWorld Essay
A novel written by Aldous Huxley, BraveNewWorld is a very interesting, which is based upon a futuristic society. The entire novel shows the reader that this society obtains pleasure without any moral effects. This Utopian/dystopian society manipulates people’s minds making them believe they are all working together for the common good. BraveNewWorld explores the negatives of a successful world where everyone seems to be content and satisfied, with more pleasures but this stability is only achieved by sacrificing freedom in a true sense and the idea of accountability. A dictatorship is essentially met through everyone being born from test tubes and not having any other choice then listening to the people who fostered them as children in a factory. This book is really interesting as it explores the dangers of technology and what it can do to a whole world.
In the novel there were architects for the society. They wanted to accomplish in making a perfect community of people. Cloning everyone and controlling their destiny took differences in the people away. By doing this to the people of their society, maintaining stability and peace basically helped achieve the goals of taking away free will and choice. I also...

BraveNewWorld
Sacrificing Shakespeare in the name of the Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy?
BraveNewWorld was written by Aldous Huxley, first published in 1932 and derived its title from The Tempest, a play by William Shakespeare, namely from its heroine Miranda’s speech which is at the same time both ironic and naive. Miranda, raised her whole life on a solitary island, comes to encounter people for the first time only to find drunken sailors and their ship which they happened to wreck. The line is:
O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O bravenewworld!
That has such people in it!
Aldous Huxley’s ironic allegory is quite clear. It is the future into which we project our hopes and dreams and it is the future again who twists and turns them into ludicrous dissapointments. But at least the citizens of Huxley’s dreamworld are unaware of their absurd condition and float through their existence with ease that men of today can hardly come to know.
Written during The Great Depression and inspired by the novels of H. G. Wells, Huxley’s BraveNewWorld tells the story of a suprisingly happy and contended society (one should bear in mind that this book is usually labeled as dystopian fiction, genre which relishes in apocalyptic and catastrophical visions of...

... BraveNewWorld is a novel written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley and published in 1932. Set in London of AD 2540, the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning that combine profoundly to change society. Huxley answered this book with a reassessment in an essay, BraveNewWorld Revisited, and with Island, his final novel.
In 1999, the Modern Library ranked BraveNewWorld fifth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2003, Robert McCrum writing for The Observer listed BraveNewWorld number 53 in "the top 100 greatest novels of all time", and the novel was listed at number 87 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.
Title
BraveNew World's title derives from Miranda's speech in William Shakespeare's The Tempest, Act V, Scene I:
This line itself is ironic; Miranda was raised for most of her life on an isolated island, and the only people she ever knew were her father and his servants, an enslaved savage, and spirits, notably Ariel. When she sees other people for the first time, she is overcome with excitement, and utters, among other praise, the famous line above. However, what she is actually observing is not men acting in a refined or civilized manner, but rather...

...The Loss of Individuality The peak of a writer's career should exhibit their most profound works of literature. In the case of Aldous Huxley, BraveNewWorld is by far his most renowned novel. Aldous Huxley is a European-born writer who, in the midst of his career, moved to the United States and settled in California. While in California, he began to have visions aided by his usage of hallucinatory drugs. His visions were of a utopian society surviving here on earth. In his literature, Huxley wanted to make this utopian society as much a reality as possible. &quot;In framing an ideal we may assume what we wish, but should avoid impossibilities.&quot; This quote, written by Aristotle, perfectly describes Huxley's attitude towards the creation of his imaginary utopia. His only problem was establishing a value system that would not seem too unattainable. Huxley has two novels that have the theme of utopia, BraveNewWorld and Island. BraveNewWorld , which was written before Island , has ideas that are quite far-fetched, but in Huxley's eyes, still close to reality. Huxley's first portrait of utopia involves having a controlled society of people all being alike. The year is A.F. 632 (After Ford; Ford is the equivalent to God in BraveNewWorld ) and with the available technology, citizens are mass produced....

...affected the world in a really negative way. When technology first started to improve and become more advanced was during the WW1 and WW2, which caused the most destructive wars in human history. For example the wrong use of technology led the Americans to produce one of the most destructive bombs that killed about more than 80,000 innocent people in Japan, Nagasaki. Another perfect example could be the production of nuclear weapons and missiles in Russia and Iran, which are made to eventually be used in another destructive war in the future. The book BraveNewWorld, written by Aldous Huxley, set in London of AD 2540, discusses how the development of reproductive technology, sleep- learning, physiological operation and operant conditioning combined together to extremely change their society. This fictional society was the vision of Aldous Huxley about the future. Although the main purpose of Huxley’s writing could be to show us the effect of drug usage on society and an individual. Huxley’ wrote BraveNewWorld to warn the world about science and technology and its wrongful uses because the people developed a way of creating life artificially, conditioning people to morals set forth by government officials and created a caste system in which certain people are superior to others.
Huxley’ wrote BraveNewWorld to warn...
